15′		GOAL FOR MAREK! 1:0! Lubomir Kostov! Nikolay Ganchev crossed in the penalty area, the ball passed all the players but reached Veselin Lyubomirov, he without delay looked for Kostov, who managed to escape from the Septemvri defenders and opened the score with a shot from close range.
11′		Ivan Arsov from the away team received a yellow card for simulation. The replays, however, left serious doubts as to whether the actions of the home defender Hristo Kaimakanski against the Septemvri player were within the limits of what was allowed. The coach of the Sofia team, Nikolay Mitov, expressed his displeasure with the referee’s decision not to award a penalty in this situation.
5′		Borislav Marinov brought on Jean-Pierre Da Silva alone against Plamen Mladenov, but the striker took a weak shot that was easily saved by Marek’s keeper.
2′		The home team could have scored at the very beginning of the match. Nikolay Ganchev found Lyubomir Kostov in the penalty area, he shot from close range, but Dimitar Sheitanov demonstrated an excellent reflex and saved a safe goal.
1′		The match at Bonchuk Stadium has started.

Marek and Septemvri face each other in the most interesting match of the 30th round of the Second League. The match is of particular importance in view of the fact that the two teams are third and second respectively in the provisional standings. Dupničani have an asset of 53 points, while Sofiani have 4 more, and a possible victory of the team led by Tancho Kalpakov will bring it only one point closer to the second position, which gives the right to direct promotion.

The guests from Sofia have a new coach, after Nikolay Mitov replaced the previous coach Ivan Geshev. This will be his fourth stint at the helm of September.

The match at the “Bonchuk” stadium starts at 17:00.
